Not 100% though.

The actuall rack bolts to the engine xmember, but the flairs on the lines that bolt into the rack.

I used a feed line off a ca18 silvia and the return was sr20 s13. Had to tweak the lines abit, its not exactly good looking but it works :happy:

Hi Toffy,

Thank you for your immediate response very much appreciated. Looking at your response, as what I have understand that r32/s13 is better for replace/change for A31 is it correct toffy?. This HIcas and Non Hicas does it matter?

Being front wheel drive i wouldn't think they would fit , r32/s13 are a direct replacement in memory , watch out for hicas and non hicas too , pretty sure they were different

Hi Toffy

Thank you for your immediate response very much appreciated. Looking at your response, as what I have understand that r32/s13 is better for replace/change for A31 is it correct toffy?. This HIcas and Non Hicas does it matter? Which is better to use Hicas or the Non Hicas?

By the way, what type of car mostly uses r32/s13 rack?

In my vague memory of last time i went hunting for a steering rack , they are all the same except for where the lines bolt into the rack . A very common conversion is to put an s14 steering rack in . Last time i put an s13 rack in my non hicas c33 (which are the same as cefiro) . However , i tried to fit the pressure line from a non hicas cefiro onto a non hicas r32 , the entry point of the line into the rack was different . Going from what i've been told , hicas racks have extra lines for the four wheel steering . I hope this helps :)

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
